To celebrate the release of 'Valerian,' Mike Calabro is going to tell you about the comic it's based on and how it fits into the influential history of French science fiction.
» Subscribe to NowThis Nerd: http://go.nowth.is/Nerd_Subscribe
To a lot of American nerds, the name ‘Valerian’ might not mean all the much. But overseas, the French comic book ‘Valerian’ is some of the most important and influential scifi ever made. Everything from ‘Star Wars’ to ‘Independence Day’ owes a debt to ‘Valerian,’ and that’s just scratching the surface of the rich history of French science fiction.
The history of French scifi begins with Jules Verne, the author of classics like ‘20,000 LeaguesUnder the Sea’ and ‘From the Earth to the Moon.’ From there, French science fiction spilled out into the cinema, with New Wave filmmakers producing classics like Alphaville. But maybe the purest essence of French scifi comes from their comic books, especially Metal Hurlant.
Moebius is just one of the legendary artists and writers who contributed to the groundbreaking comic anthology. Whether you call it Metal Hurlant or Heavy Metal, the American title, the stories inside were beautiful and brutal, and they paved the way for a lot of what we see today. Moebius made a huge impact on the scifi genre, working on everything from ‘Jodorowsky’s Dune’ to ‘Space Jam,’ but ‘Metal Hurlant’ might be his greatest legacy.
Moebius isn’t the only French scifi creator Americans are familiar with. We end our tour with Luc Besson, director of ‘The Professional,’ ‘Nikita,’ ‘The Fifth Element,’ and funnily enough, ‘Valerian.’ It’s the project he’s dreamed of making since he was a kid reading the ‘Valerian’ comics and Metal Hurlant. France has a long tradition of science fiction, and it’s contributed a ton to the genre, so if you’re looking to expand your horizons with a little international flair, ‘Valerian’ might not be a bad bet.

Thankfully, our art editor and resident comic book expert Nick Gazin is here to share with us the Top 10 Comic Books of all time to get you beginners started. And like Nick says, this list is objective so there's no point in arguing about this in the comments section...

http://myetvmedia.com/feature/asterix-and-obelix/
The huge success of Asterix is not a miracle, it's simply due to the fact that Rene Goscinny is a brilliant comedic writer, certainly one of the best ever in French comics, and that Albert Uderzo is an equally brilliant artist, at ease with any type of scenes. Astérix was originally serialized in the magazine Pilote, in the very first issue published on 29 October1959. In 1961 the first book was put together entitled Asterix the Gaul. From then on, books were released generally on a yearly basis. We are at 34 albums so fare. The Asterix series is one of the most popular Franco-Belgian comics in the world; with the series being translated over 100 languages. The success of the series has led to the adaptation of several books into 11 films: 8 animated, and 3 with live actors.
The series follows the exploits of a village of invincible Gauls as they resist Roman occupation. They do so by means of a magic potion, brewed by their druid (ancient priest) Getafix, which gives the recipient superhuman strength. The main characters are Asterix with his eternal friend Obelix and his dog dogfix. The "ix" suffix of most names in the series is an echo the name of Vercingetorix an historical Gaul chieftain defeated by the great Caesar of Rome. In many cases, the stories have them travel to various countries around the world, though other books are set in and around their village. René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo are France's bestselling authors abroad.

The InternationalCentre for Comic Strip and Images
Located in three superb buildings in the town centre beside the Charente, the International Centre is one of the most important bases across the world for both comic strip and image technology, ensuring that comic strip is an important element of life in Angoulême throughout the year.
WHAT TO SEE IN THE MUSEUM
The museum is divided into four sections. The main, and largest area within the public side of the museum, tells of the 150-year old history of the comic strip, showing the different styles of the art, from those that were more painterly in style to the more familiar drawings.
The comic strips are displayed under spot-lights in long glass pods giving the museum an air of the film ‘Space Odyssey2001.’ Television screens show interviews with some of the more well-known creators, from Belgium’s Hergé to America’s Segar. Strong sections on Mickey Mouse and the Marvel Comics, amongst others, show how American comics influenced the genre. There is also an area devoted to Japan’s manga comics.
The information is in French – most of the pods have laminated cards with explanations in English and Spanish but while good are not as comprehensive as those in French. Also in this area are large, comfy banks of seating, each with a small revolving bookshelf of comics books (in English as well as French) for people to choose from.
The second section of the Musée de la bande dessinée is called the L’atelier which shows how a comic strip is created. There is one computer that allows children to put their own comic strip together but the emphasis is very definitely on reading rather than doing. The Salon and Galerie are for temporary collections, including those of a more fragile nature and which cannot stand strong light for long.
The museum shop is excellent. There you can buy post-cards and small gifts including diaries and key-rings and DIY arts projects for children. The pièce de résistance, however, is the excellent collection of books in the genre, some of which are in English.

**Skip to 1:51 to hear about the books.** More information and links in descriptions!
In the 4th episode of Fortnightly French I show two books I recently got to help support my learning French independently at home.

LE PETIT PRINCE
The first book is Le Petit Prince / The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. The version I have is a bilingual English and French version.

FAQ!!: How did I learn French?
I am English and have been teaching myself French since late 2014.
I began by using Duolingo but I found I enjoyed Babbel more and learnt up to B1 French using only Babbel (+ occasionally watching/listening to French music/films).
Link to a Babbel free trial is here: http://bit.ly/2ssrfpc
Since finishing Babbel (late 2015) I have tried other methods for learning French such as MOOCs, books, casual conversational partners and a short course in Paris (Summer 2016) and I document all of my experiences on my YouTube channel.
As ofJanuary 2017 I am primarily learning French by making YouTube videos!

Comic book

A comic book or comicbook, also called comic magazine or simply comic, is a publication that consists of comic art in the form of sequential juxtaposed panels that represent individual scenes. Panels are often accompanied by brief descriptive prose and written narrative, usually dialog contained in word balloons emblematic of the comics art form. Although comics has some origins in 18th century Japan and 1830s Europe, comic books were first popularized in the United States during the 1930s. The first modern comic book, Famous Funnies, was released in the United States in 1933 and was a reprinting of earlier newspaper humor comic strips, which had established many of the story-telling devices used in comics. The term comic book derives from American comic books once being a compilation of comic strips of a humorous tone; however, this practice was replaced by featuring stories of all genres, usually not humorous in tone.

Structure

Comic books are reliant on their organization and appearance. Authors largely focus on the frame of the page, size, orientation, and panel positions. These characteristic aspects of comic books are necessary in conveying the content and messages of the author. The key elements of comic books include panels, balloons (speech bubbles), text (lines), and characters. Balloons are usually convex spatial containers of information that are related to a character using a tail element. The tail has an origin, path, tip, and pointed direction.

Franco-Belgian comics

Franco-Belgian comics (French:Bande dessinée franco-belge; Dutch:Franco-Belgische strip) are comics that are created for a Belgian and French audience. These countries have a long tradition in comics and comic books, where they are known as BDs, an abbreviation of bandes dessinées (literally drawn strips) in French and stripverhalen (literally strip stories) in Dutch. Flemish Belgian comic books (originally written in Dutch) are influenced by francophone comics, yet have a distinctly different style.

In Europe, the French language is spoken natively not only in France but also by about 40% of the population of Belgium and about 20% of the population of Switzerland. The shared language creates an artistic and commercial market where national identity is often blurred.

Flemish publications are often translated to French and brought on the French-language market. Despite the shared language, Flemish comic books are not common in the Netherlands (with some exceptions).

His first book appeared in 1966, entitled Le Mystère des abîmes (The Mystery of the Abyss). It introduced his recurring hero Lone Sloane and played on science-fiction themes partially inspired by his favourite writers, H. P. Lovecraft and A.E. van Vogt. Later Druillet created book covers for republications of Lovecraft's work, as well as numerous movie posters.

After Druillet became a regular contributor to the Franco-Belgian comics magazine Pilote in 1970, his Lone Sloane saga grew steadily more flamboyant, as he pursued innovations including bold page designs and computer-generated images. His backdrops of gigantic structures inspired by Art Nouveau, Indian temples and Gothic cathedrals earned him the nickname of "space architect". Six tales about Sloane's exploits were collected in Les six voyages de Lone Sloane in 1972, hailed by many as his masterpiece, and Sloane was again the hero of the graphic novel Délirius (1973), written by Jacques Lob. In 1973, Druillet also produced the Moorcock's Elric-inspired Yragaël for Pilote, and Vuzz for the magazine Phénix

Travel France: Bande Dessinee Angouleme 2009

Travel France: Bande Dessinee Angouleme 2009

A visit to the BD festival in Angouleme, France. Every year, the BD festival takes place. BD = Bande Dessine = comic books.
The festival is mainly exhibiting publishers and illustrators of French language comic books, but there are also other types of illustration on view.
There are perhaps a few hundred exhibitors, and a small outlet to meet distribution agents if you have a professional pass. Some special presentations are staged through the event, and the town goes festival crazy.
It's very recommended if you are into the French comic book scene - although there were some other Europeans on show, including some Brits from a Cheltenham design college and Sai, a Korean satirical illustration group. Plenty of people were buying their books, even though they were all in Korean. In fact, many people were buying all sorts of comic books by the tonne!

French 'master of comics' artist Moebius dies

http://www.euronews.com/ One of France's best-known cartoonists, Jean Giraud - also known as Moebius - has died in Paris at the age of 73 after a long fight against cancer.
The comic-book artist and designer was revered in a country where cartoons are held in high artistic regard, but his work also found fame in Japan and the United States.
Moebius was perhaps best known for the Western series Blueberry, which he co-created. Its main character starts out as a committed racist before becoming an enemy of all types of discrimination.
The Brazilian writer Paulo Coelho, whose book "The Alchemist" was illustrated by the cartoonist, wrote on Twitter that "the great Moebius died today, the great Moebius lives on".

French comic books show their importance with new museum

The art of the comic book is to be celebrated in France with the opening of a new museum dedicated just to them. In France, the "bande dessinée" is revered as the "ninth art" and has a long and distinguished history, which will now be on show thanks to a range of temporary and permanent exhibits of original strips and sketches going back to the 19th century. The museum opens on 20th June in Angoulême, the site of a major annual comics festival.

French Comic Books

French-speaking comic-books aren’t only Tintin and the Smurfs. They’re pretty diverse, adventures and jokes and unforgettable characters. Today’s topic will lead you in the country of bubbles, the land of panels, a world of heroes made of ink and paper : la bande-dessinée.

To a lot of American nerds, the name ‘Valerian’ might not mean all the much. But overseas, the French comic book ‘Valerian’ is some of the most important and influential scifi ever made. Everything from ‘Star Wars’ to ‘Independence Day’ owes a debt to ‘Valerian,’ and that’s just scratching the surface of the rich history of French science fiction.

Asterix: The Greatest Comic Books of All Time Ep.6

http://myetvmedia.com/feature/asterix-and-obelix/
The huge success of Asterix is not a miracle, it's simply due to the fact that Rene Goscinny is a brilliant comedic writer, certainly one of the best ever in French comics, and that Albert Uderzo is an equally brilliant artist, at ease with any type of scenes. Astérix was originally serialized in the magazine Pilote, in the very first issue published on 29 October1959. In 1961 the first book was put together entitled Asterix the Gaul. From then on, books were released generally on a yearly basis. We are at 34 albums so fare. The Asterix series is one of the most popular Franco-Belgian comics in the world; with the series being translated over 100 languages. The success of the series has led to the adaptation of several books into 11 films...

Hunting for success at French comics fest

In some parts of the world, comic books are associated with teenage boys and superheroes. But in continental Europe, there's long been a very different tradition -- comic albums aimed squarely at grown-ups, holding their own against novels and feature films in the cultural landscape. AFP catches up with one new artist, exhibiting her work for the first time at Europe's biggest festival for the art form, to find out why millions of grown men and women still go crazy for comics.Duration: 02:39

Travel France: Bande Dessinee Angouleme 2009

A visit to the BD festival in Angouleme, France. Every year, the BD festival takes place. BD = Bande Dessine = comic books.
The festival is mainly exhibiting publishers and illustrators of French language comic books, but there are also other types of illustration on view.
There are perhaps a few hundred exhibitors, and a small outlet to meet distribution agents if you have a professional pass. Some special presentations are staged through the event, and the town goes festival crazy.
It's very recommended if you are into the French comic book scene - although there were some other Europeans on show, including some Brits from a Cheltenham design college and Sai, a Korean satirical illustration group. Plenty of people were buying their books, even though they were all in Korean. In ...

To a lot of American nerds, the name ‘Valerian’ might not mean all the much. But overseas, the French comic book ‘Valerian’ is some of the most important and influential scifi ever made. Everything from ‘Star Wars’ to ‘Independence Day’ owes a debt to ‘Valerian,’ and that’s just scratching the surface of the rich history of French science fiction.
The history of French scifi begins with Jules Verne, the author of classics like ‘20,000 LeaguesUnder the Sea’ and ‘From the Earth to the Moon.’ From there, French science fiction spilled out into the cinema, with New Wave filmmakers producing classics like Alphaville. But maybe the purest essence of French scifi comes from their comic books, especially Metal Hurlant.
Moebius is just one of the legendary artists and writers who contributed to the groundbreaking comic anthology. Whether you call it Metal Hurlant or Heavy Metal, the American title, the stories inside were beautiful and brutal, and they paved the way for a lot of what we see today. Moebius made a huge impact on the scifi genre, working on everything from ‘Jodorowsky’s Dune’ to ‘Space Jam,’ but ‘Metal Hurlant’ might be his greatest legacy.
Moebius isn’t the only French scifi creator Americans are familiar with. We end our tour with Luc Besson, director of ‘The Professional,’ ‘Nikita,’ ‘The Fifth Element,’ and funnily enough, ‘Valerian.’ It’s the project he’s dreamed of making since he was a kid reading the ‘Valerian’ comics and Metal Hurlant. France has a long tradition of science fiction, and it’s contributed a ton to the genre, so if you’re looking to expand your horizons with a little international flair, ‘Valerian’ might not be a bad bet.

http://myetvmedia.com/feature/asterix-and-obelix/
The huge success of Asterix is not a miracle, it's simply due to the fact that Rene Goscinny is a brilliant comedic writer, certainly one of the best ever in French comics, and that Albert Uderzo is an equally brilliant artist, at ease with any type of scenes. Astérix was originally serialized in the magazine Pilote, in the very first issue published on 29 October1959. In 1961 the first book was put together entitled Asterix the Gaul. From then on, books were released generally on a yearly basis. We are at 34 albums so fare. The Asterix series is one of the most popular Franco-Belgian comics in the world; with the series being translated over 100 languages. The success of the series has led to the adaptation of several books into 11 films: 8 animated, and 3 with live actors.
The series follows the exploits of a village of invincible Gauls as they resist Roman occupation. They do so by means of a magic potion, brewed by their druid (ancient priest) Getafix, which gives the recipient superhuman strength. The main characters are Asterix with his eternal friend Obelix and his dog dogfix. The "ix" suffix of most names in the series is an echo the name of Vercingetorix an historical Gaul chieftain defeated by the great Caesar of Rome. In many cases, the stories have them travel to various countries around the world, though other books are set in and around their village. René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo are France's bestselling authors abroad.

The InternationalCentre for Comic Strip and Images
Located in three superb buildings in the town centre beside the Charente, the International Centre is one of the most important bases across the world for both comic strip and image technology, ensuring that comic strip is an important element of life in Angoulême throughout the year.
WHAT TO SEE IN THE MUSEUM
The museum is divided into four sections. The main, and largest area within the public side of the museum, tells of the 150-year old history of the comic strip, showing the different styles of the art, from those that were more painterly in style to the more familiar drawings.
The comic strips are displayed under spot-lights in long glass pods giving the museum an air of the film ‘Space Odyssey2001.’ Television screens show interviews with some of the more well-known creators, from Belgium’s Hergé to America’s Segar. Strong sections on Mickey Mouse and the Marvel Comics, amongst others, show how American comics influenced the genre. There is also an area devoted to Japan’s manga comics.
The information is in French – most of the pods have laminated cards with explanations in English and Spanish but while good are not as comprehensive as those in French. Also in this area are large, comfy banks of seating, each with a small revolving bookshelf of comics books (in English as well as French) for people to choose from.
The second section of the Musée de la bande dessinée is called the L’atelier which shows how a comic strip is created. There is one computer that allows children to put their own comic strip together but the emphasis is very definitely on reading rather than doing. The Salon and Galerie are for temporary collections, including those of a more fragile nature and which cannot stand strong light for long.
The museum shop is excellent. There you can buy post-cards and small gifts including diaries and key-rings and DIY arts projects for children. The pièce de résistance, however, is the excellent collection of books in the genre, some of which are in English.

Strong sections on Mickey Mouse and the Marvel Comics, amongst others, show how American comics influenced the genre. There is also an area devoted to Japan’s manga comics.
The information is in French – most of the pods have laminated cards with explanations in English and Spanish but while good are not as comprehensive as those in French. Also in this area are large, comfy banks of seating, each with a small revolving bookshelf of comics books (in English as well as French) for people to choose from.
The second section of the Musée de la bande dessinée is called the L’atelier which shows how a comic strip is created. There is one computer that allows children to put their own comic strip together but the emphasis is very definitely on reading rather than doing. The Salon and Galerie are for temporary collections, including those of a more fragile nature and which cannot stand strong light for long.
The museum shop is excellent. There you can buy post-cards and small gifts including diaries and key-rings and DIY arts projects for children. The pièce de résistance, however, is the excellent collection of books in the genre, some of which are in English.

LE PETIT PRINCE
The first book is Le Petit Prince / The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. The version I have is a bilingual English and French version. I really like the layout and will give feedback after I have finished as to how useful it was. This book also comes with an English and French version of the audiobook.

LE PAPYRUS DE CÉSAR
The second is the comic Asterix : Le Papyrus de César / Asterix and the Missing Scroll, which is the latest Asterix comic, released in 2015. This was a present from my French boyfriend. In order to fully understand the jokes you should probably read this with a native French speaker. Consider this book learning about French culture ;) !

FAQ!!: How did I learn French?
I am English and have been teaching myself French since late 2014.
I began by using Duolingo but I found I enjoyed Babbel more and learnt up to B1 French using only Babbel (+ occasionally watching/listening to French music/films).
Link to a Babbel free trial is here: http://bit.ly/2ssrfpc
Since finishing Babbel (late 2015) I have tried other methods for learning French such as MOOCs, books, casual conversational partners and a short course in Paris (Summer 2016) and I document all of my experiences on my YouTube channel.
As ofJanuary 2017 I am primarily learning French by making YouTube videos!
Please feel free to ask any questions.

A visit to the BD festival in Angouleme, France. Every year, the BD festival takes place. BD = Bande Dessine = comic books.
The festival is mainly exhibiting publishers and illustrators of French language comic books, but there are also other types of illustration on view.
There are perhaps a few hundred exhibitors, and a small outlet to meet distribution agents if you have a professional pass. Some special presentations are staged through the event, and the town goes festival crazy.
It's very recommended if you are into the French comic book scene - although there were some other Europeans on show, including some Brits from a Cheltenham design college and Sai, a Korean satirical illustration group. Plenty of people were buying their books, even though they were all in Korean. In fact, many people were buying all sorts of comic books by the tonne!

http://www.euronews.com/ One of France's best-known cartoonists, Jean Giraud - also known as Moebius - has died in Paris at the age of 73 after a long fight against cancer.
The comic-book artist and designer was revered in a country where cartoons are held in high artistic regard, but his work also found fame in Japan and the United States.
Moebius was perhaps best known for the Western series Blueberry, which he co-created. Its main character starts out as a committed racist before becoming an enemy of all types of discrimination.
The Brazilian writer Paulo Coelho, whose book "The Alchemist" was illustrated by the cartoonist, wrote on Twitter that "the great Moebius died today, the great Moebius lives on".

The art of the comic book is to be celebrated in France with the opening of a new museum dedicated just to them. In France, the "bande dessinée" is revered as the "ninth art" and has a long and distinguished history, which will now be on show thanks to a range of temporary and permanent exhibits of original strips and sketches going back to the 19th century. The museum opens on 20th June in Angoulême, the site of a major annual comics festival.

The Twelve Tasks of Asterix 1976

The Twelve Tasks of Asterix (Les Douze travaux d'Astérix) is a 1976French animated feature film based on the Asterix comic book series. René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo, the creators of the series, wrote the story and directed the film themselves; with co-direction by Pierre Watrin and the screenplay co-written by Pierre Tchernia, a friend of Goscinny and Uderzo. The movie was directed, produced and animated at Goscinny and Uderzo's own animation studio, Studios Idéfix and is the only Asterix animated film that has used the Xerography Process.
It is the only Asterix movie to date (animated or live-action) to be based on an original screenplay rather than on material from any of the comic book stories. Later, however, it was adapted into a comic book as well as an illustrated text story boo...

Drawing comics - The Rainbow Orchid

This video follows the process, after scripting, of getting 'The Rainbow Orchid' down onto paper, with pencils and inks in speedy-time. I wish it really was this fast! The whole video is 47 minutes long, but please feel free to jump around the timeline (inking begins at 31:18). It was filmed in February 2006 and comes from page 53 of the 'The CompleteRainbow Orchid'.
'The Rainbow Orchid' is an adventure comic/graphic novel written and drawn by Garen Ewing and published in English by Egmont UK, in Dutch by Silvester Strips, in Spanish by Netcom2 Editorial, in French by BD Must Editions, in German by Salleck Publishing, and in Danish by Tellerup.

Plot
After a group of legionaries is once again beaten up by the gauls, they imagine: "With such huge strength, they can't be human... they must be gods". Julius Caesar is informed, and laughs. He makes a decision with his council and goes to Armorica, to speak with Vitalstatistix. He gives the Gauls a series of 12 tasks, inspired by Hercules (but new ones, since the 12 Labours are outdated). Vitalstatistix assembles their best warriors, Asterix and Obelix, to do the job. The RomanCaius Tiddlus is sent along with them to guide them and check they complete each task.

What is ASMR? It is both a sensation and a medium.
ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response and is the current, non-scientific name given to the feeling characterized as a pleasurable tingling sensation felt in the head, scalp, back and other regions of the body in response to visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and/or cognitive stimuli, such as crinkling bags, hand movements, whispering, personal attention or watching someone perform a task. It's like goosebumps, but much more pleasant.
ASMR videos are meant to intentionally help induce this sensation, also referred to as "tingles", but also provide a relaxing, calming, soothing, therapeutic and even entertaining experience for the viewer.
Many people who do not experience ASMR still enjoy the videos for their calming and sleepy effect.

Player:Heroes of Xanadu - Who made the best side-scrolling beat'em up - Capcom or Konami ?
=====================================================================================
Asterix is a horizontal-scrolling beat'em up arcade game released in 1992 by Konami. It is based on the French comic series Asterix and Obelix. The player fights as either Asterix the Gaul or his best friend, Obelix, as they take on the 'might' of the oppressive Roman Empire. Asterix includes a variety of humorous fighting moves, which are demonstrated in the game's attract mode. The artwork and feel of Asterix remains true to its French source material, and the game's many humorous touches (such as the
=====================================================================================
way defeated Legionnaires crawl away) will be instantly familiar to fans of the comic-book and cartoon series. Bonus levels - such as the chariot race that awaits at the end of the first level - introduce different gameplay elements to provide a break from the fighting.There are two characters the player can choose in this game. The first is small and agile Asterix and the second one is big, strong Obelix carrying a stone on his back at the level beginning. Those two characters have their own unique animations allowing
=====================================================================================
them to defeat enemies in many different ways. Although Obelix is much stronger within the comic books stories, the powers of both characters in game are equal.The game can be completed using standard grips such as punch, kick, clap..etc. or using a special powerful attack “fast rotating arm”. This special ability is done by holding the attack button for a short while until the character’s face turn red. After that the player must walk to an enemy and release the button. The enemy in this moment will fly up
=====================================================================================
and after a short while drops down. This special attack is the only way to defeat the strongest bosses in game.After an enemy has been beaten enough to fall to the ground, he can be picked up for further abuse, depending on the character. For example, Asterix can pick up a soldier and twirl him above his head, Obelix instead smashes him to the ground to the left and right of his. Both characters' attacks knock down other enemies hit by the unhappy soldier they hold in their arms during the super attack.

Valerian and the History of French Science Fiction | NowThis Nerd

To celebrate the release of 'Valerian,' Mike Calabro is going to tell you about the comic it's based on and how it fits into the influential history of French science fiction.
» Subscribe to NowThis Nerd: http://go.nowth.is/Nerd_Subscribe
To a lot of American nerds, the name ‘Valerian’ might not mean all the much. But overseas, the French comic book ‘Valerian’ is some of the most important and influential scifi ever made. Everything from ‘Star Wars’ to ‘Independence Day’ owes a debt to ‘Valerian,’ and that’s just scratching the surface of the rich history of French science fiction.
The history of French scifi begins with Jules Verne, the author of classics like ‘20,000 LeaguesUnder the Sea’ and ‘From the Earth to the Moon.’ From there, French science fiction spilled out into the cinema, with New Wave filmmakers producing classics like Alphaville. But maybe the purest essence of French scifi comes from their comic books, especially Metal Hurlant.
Moebius is just one of the legendary artists and writers who contributed to the groundbreaking comic anthology. Whether you call it Metal Hurlant or Heavy Metal, the American title, the stories inside were beautiful and brutal, and they paved the way for a lot of what we see today. Moebius made a huge impact on the scifi genre, working on everything from ‘Jodorowsky’s Dune’ to ‘Space Jam,’ but ‘Metal Hurlant’ might be his greatest legacy.
Moebius isn’t the only French scifi creator Americans are familiar with. We end our tour with Luc Besson, director of ‘The Professional,’ ‘Nikita,’ ‘The Fifth Element,’ and funnily enough, ‘Valerian.’ It’s the project he’s dreamed of making since he was a kid reading the ‘Valerian’ comics and Metal Hurlant. France has a long tradition of science fiction, and it’s contributed a ton to the genre, so if you’re looking to expand your horizons with a little international flair, ‘Valerian’ might not be a bad bet.

And like Nick says, this list is objective so there's no point in arguing about this in the comments section...

Asterix: The Greatest Comic Books of All Time Ep.6

http://myetvmedia.com/feature/asterix-and-obelix/
The huge success of Asterix is not a miracle, it's simply due to the fact that Rene Goscinny is a brilliant comedic writer, certainly one of the best ever in French comics, and that Albert Uderzo is an equally brilliant artist, at ease with any type of scenes. Astérix was originally serialized in the magazine Pilote, in the very first issue published on 29 October1959. In 1961 the first book was put together entitled Asterix the Gaul. From then on, books were released generally on a yearly basis. We are at 34 albums so fare. The Asterix series is one of the most popular Franco-Belgian comics in the world; with the series being translated over 100 languages. The success of the series has led to the adaptation of several books into 11 films: 8 animated, and 3 with live actors.
The series follows the exploits of a village of invincible Gauls as they resist Roman occupation. They do so by means of a magic potion, brewed by their druid (ancient priest) Getafix, which gives the recipient superhuman strength. The main characters are Asterix with his eternal friend Obelix and his dog dogfix. The "ix" suffix of most names in the series is an echo the name of Vercingetorix an historical Gaul chieftain defeated by the great Caesar of Rome. In many cases, the stories have them travel to various countries around the world, though other books are set in and around their village. René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo are France's bestselling authors abroad.

Hunting for success at French comics fest

In some parts of the world, comic books are associated with teenage boys and superheroes. But in continental Europe, there's long been a very different tradition -- comic albums aimed squarely at grown-ups, holding their own against novels and feature films in the cultural landscape. AFP catches up with one new artist, exhibiting her work for the first time at Europe's biggest festival for the art form, to find out why millions of grown men and women still go crazy for comics.Duration: 02:39

COMIC STRIP MUSEUM IN ANGOULÊME France

The InternationalCentre for Comic Strip and Images
Located in three superb buildings in the town centre beside the Charente, the International Centre is one of the most important bases across the world for both comic strip and image technology, ensuring that comic strip is an important element of life in Angoulême throughout the year.
WHAT TO SEE IN THE MUSEUM
The museum is divided into four sections. The main, and largest area within the public side of the museum, tells of the 150-year old history of the comic strip, showing the different styles of the art, from those that were more painterly in style to the more familiar drawings.
The comic strips are displayed under spot-lights in long glass pods giving the museum an air of the film ‘Space Odyssey2001.’ Television screens show interviews with some of the more well-known creators, from Belgium’s Hergé to America’s Segar. Strong sections on Mickey Mouse and the Marvel Comics, amongst others, show how American comics influenced the genre. There is also an area devoted to Japan’s manga comics.
The information is in French – most of the pods have laminated cards with explanations in English and Spanish but while good are not as comprehensive as those in French. Also in this area are large, comfy banks of seating, each with a small revolving bookshelf of comics books (in English as well as French) for people to choose from.
The second section of the Musée de la bande dessinée is called the L’atelier which shows how a comic strip is created. There is one computer that allows children to put their own comic strip together but the emphasis is very definitely on reading rather than doing. The Salon and Galerie are for temporary collections, including those of a more fragile nature and which cannot stand strong light for long.
The museum shop is excellent. There you can buy post-cards and small gifts including diaries and key-rings and DIY arts projects for children. The pièce de résistance, however, is the excellent collection of books in the genre, some of which are in English.

Books I'm using to learn French

**Skip to 1:51 to hear about the books.** More information and links in descriptions!
In the 4th episode of Fortnightly French I show two books I recently got to help support my learning French independently at home.
I am still keeping up my Babbel vocabulary review and am making use of Memrise.
--
LE PETIT PRINCE
The first book is Le Petit Prince / The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. The version I have is a bilingual English and French version. I really like the layout and will give feedback after I have finished as to how useful it was. This book also comes with an English and French version of the audiobook.

Amazon US: http://amzn.to/2qx81OC

LE PAPYRUS DE CÉSAR
The second is the comic Asterix : Le Papyrus de César / Asterix and the Missing Scroll, which is the latest Asterix comic, released in 2015. This was a present from my French boyfriend. In order to fully understand the jokes you should probably read this with a native French speaker. Consider this book learning about French culture ;) !

FAQ!!: How did I learn French?
I am English and have been teaching myself French since late 2014.
I began by using Duolingo but I found I enjoyed Babbel more and learnt up to B1 French using only Babbel (+ occasionally watching/listening to French music/films).
Link to a Babbel free trial is here: http://bit.ly/2ssrfpc
Since finishing Babbel (late 2015) I have tried other methods for learning French such as MOOCs, books, casual conversational partners and a short course in Paris (Summer 2016) and I document all of my experiences on my YouTube channel.
As ofJanuary 2017 I am primarily learning French by making YouTube videos!
Please feel free to ask any questions.

Travel France: Bande Dessinee Angouleme 2009

A visit to the BD festival in Angouleme, France. Every year, the BD festival takes place. BD = Bande Dessine = comic books.
The festival is mainly exhibiting publishers and illustrators of French language comic books, but there are also other types of illustration on view.
There are perhaps a few hundred exhibitors, and a small outlet to meet distribution agents if you have a professional pass. Some special presentations are staged through the event, and the town goes festival crazy.
It's very recommended if you are into the French comic book scene - although there were some other Europeans on show, including some Brits from a Cheltenham design college and Sai, a Korean satirical illustration group. Plenty of people were buying their books, even though they were all in Korean. In fact, many people were buying all sorts of comic books by the tonne!

The Twelve Tasks of Asterix 1976

The Twelve Tasks of Asterix (Les Douze travaux d'Astérix) is a 1976French animated feature film based on the Asterix comic book series. René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo, the creators of the series, wrote the story and directed the film themselves; with co-direction by Pierre Watrin and the screenplay co-written by Pierre Tchernia, a friend of Goscinny and Uderzo. The movie was directed, produced and animated at Goscinny and Uderzo's own animation studio, Studios Idéfix and is the only Asterix animated film that has used the Xerography Process.
It is the only Asterix movie to date (animated or live-action) to be based on an original screenplay rather than on material from any of the comic book stories. Later, however, it was adapted into a comic book as well as an illustrated text story book and a series of twelve books for young readers.
Plot
After a group of legionaries is once again beaten up by the gauls, they imagine: "With such huge strength, they can't be human... they must be gods". Julius Caesar is informed, and laughs. He makes a decision with his council and goes to Armorica, to speak with Vitalstatistix. He gives the Gauls a series of 12 tasks, inspired by Hercules (but new ones, since the 12 Labours are outdated). Vitalstatistix assembles their best warriors, Asterix and Obelix, to do the job. The RomanCaius Tiddlus is sent along with them to guide them and check they complete each task.

ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response and is the current, non-scientific name given to the feeling characterized as a pleasurable tingling sensation felt in the head, scalp, back and other regions of the body in response to visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and/or cognitive stimuli, such as crinkling bags, hand movements, whispering, personal attention or watching someone perform a task. It's like goosebumps, but much more pleasant.
ASMR videos are meant to intentionally help induce this sensation, also referred to as "tingles", but also provide a relaxing, calming, soothing, therapeutic and even entertaining experience for the viewer.
Many people who do not experience ASMR still enjoy the videos for their calming and sleepy effect.
